For the past year, we’ve been really busy.
bTizzy
Upgrading. Expanding. Shifting. Building. Facelifting. Renaming.
Some of you knew us as OUT OF STEP. We’ve shed that skin and are now called bTizzy. All the work we’ve been doing has put us in a, yep, you guessed it: a Tizzy. When we were brainstorming names, bTizzy seemed to best reflect the new direction we were headed.
More specifically, it has an attitude about it. What we are trying to do is shift the paradigm and existing perceptions about the disability community. We are leaving the pity party behind. We are embracing a more open dialog, fostering community, speaking to issues, passions and yes, frustrations, too: all the things that make up the diverse lifeblood of our population. And most critically, we aim to increase the economic power of people with disabilities (PWD).
Toward that end, bTizzy.com has an array of offerings that are about and for disability. A few highlights:
• K-TIZ RADIO. With four shows covering every corner of disability, we’re putting the mic in front of the movers and shakers as well as everyday advocates and heroes in our world.
• FORUM. We want to get people talking. And helping. Whether it’s finding a new apartment or a friend, the key is connecting.
• KNOW. This area is a vital resource for PWD. Legal, medical, events, relevant articles, it’s all here for you to know. And learn.
• SHOP. Products and Services by PWD have a new marketplace: bTizzy.com. Commercial success is critical to our success. And yours. Our goal is to level the economic playing field. To help disabled people become financially independent. To thrive.
We welcome you to stick around and check out the new digs.
We welcome your feedback. Post what you think about us, about the current state of disability, about your latest triumphs – whatever you are impassioned about — in our FORUM.
We welcome [and would be most grateful for] your social engagement online: spread the word, tell your friends and colleagues, post away. Communication is everything. We want folks to join the conversation. We’re at our best when we’re engaged.
